TDDFT studies of resonance Raman processes: Understanding SERS

COMP 437

Lasse Jensen, l.jensen@chem.northwestern.edu, Department of Chemistry, Northwester University, 2145 Sheridan Rd., Evanston, IL 60208-3113, Christine M. Aikens, c-aikens@northwestern.edu, Department of Chemistry, Northwestern University, 2145 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL 60208-3113, and George C. Schatz, schatz@chem.northwestern.edu, Department of Chemistry and the International Institute for Nanotechnology, Northwestern University, 2145 Sheridan Rd., Evanston, IL 60208-3113.
This talk will present the results of TDDFT calculations of resonance Raman intensities and spectra for molecules interacting with silver and gold clusters. The results will be used to interpret the enhancement mechanisms associated with surface enhanced Raman scattering.
